Cleaning Out the Tenants

A bride and groom from the rural dis.
tricts went strolling down State street the
other morning, taking in all the sights,
when their attention was attracted by q
huge collection Of furniture Of every de.
scription in front of one of the auction
rooms. There were tables, bureaus,
chairs, bedsteads, mirrors-in fact. every.
thing that would go TO complete the fur.
nishing of a very large house.
The groom attempted an explanation Of
what seemed TO them both a remarkable
circumstance, but the size of the pile non.
plused him and he finally came to stand
still.
A bright idea suddenly struck his fail
helpmate, who was doubtless from ar
anti-rent section of the country.
"I'l tell you what it is, Jim," she
said, with laughable earnestness, ''it's q
hotel, and they are putting 'em out fol
not paying the rent"
The explanation proved satisfactory al

Teach How TO Live.

Rev. T. 7. Munger has in The Century
a very earnest and philosophical protest
against what he considers to be the ma
terialistic tendencies Of the age in the
matter of education. THE age cries,
Teach us how to get a living" he says,
ga cry to which the university should
pay but little heed, needing instead the
profounder call that issues from all the
ages and from the deep heart Of humanity
itself, Teach us how TO Ivep" To "know
how to live to purpose" was declared by
Montaigne to be the most important thing
in this world. But in order TO live the
great majority Of men must know how to
get iving.-New York World

TO LEARN TO SWIM.
4hs Best Methods for Beginners-whsa
Attacked by Cramp.

Ghs Best Methods for Beginners-whsa
Attacked BY Cramp.
Probably one Of the best ways of learn
ing to swim is to 90 with competent
teacher in boat in deep water, this sup
porting the body more buoyantly than
that which is shallower, and preventing
the constant tendency of beginners to
touch bottom, which here is, Of course,
impossible. The teacher should fasten q
rope securely round the waist, or, better
still. to belt which can neither tighten
nor slip down. The rope may be fast
ened to short pole. Supported in this
manner the pupil may take his proper
position in the water and practice the
necessary motions, and the support Of the
rope may be gradually lessened until the
pupil finds himself entirely supported by
the water. That is the first great lesson
with which to inculcate the beginner,
viz, that he cannot sink il he will but
keep hls body under the water, leaving
only his mouth and nose exposed. His
body then is lighter than the water and
he will float, but every ounce Of flesh he
shows above water is equal to about o
pound Of lead in weighing him down.
Corks and bladders are often used as
supports for learners, but ii is much better
to begin without them. Life preservers
are Of little use, as their bulk is generally
all around the chest, and they hinder a
free use of the arms and impede the mo-
ton. Swimming with q plank is not q
bad way.
Those persons who plunge into the
water when they are heated by exercise
and remain in it until they are benumbed
with the cold or exhaust themselves by
very violent exertion are the most sub
ject to attacks Of scramp. The moment
the swimmer Is seized by cramps in the
legs he must not suffer himself to feel
alarmed, but strike out the limb with all
his might, keeping the heel downward
and drawing the toes as far upward as he
can, although at the time these move
ments give him great pain. He may also
turn on his back and jerk the limb into
the air, though not so high as to throw
himself out of his balance. Should these
attempts prove unsuccessful he must try
to reach the shore with his hands, or at
all events keep himself afloat until assist
ance can be procured. II he cannot float
on his back he may swim upright. keep
ing his head above the surface by strik-
ing the water downward with his hands
near the hips.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Preparing Olive OIL.

The olives are placed between two
mill stones and ground into a paste,
stones and all. This paste is put into
jute bags, which are piled up in an ordi-
nary press and subjected TO pressure fur
nished by q screw. The oil oozes through
the bags, and is caught In pans or YES
sells, and then bottled. The most re-
markable feature Of the process is that
some four or five different qualities are
obtained from one lot of olives This is
explained by the fact that the oil oozing
Out at first is the result only Of slight
pressure, consequently is sweeter and
lacks the ranker flavor Of the second,
third, and fourth grades, which partake
more or less Of the olive stones. The
last grade is frequently 50 rank that il
cannot be used for eating purposes. but
instead is used as the basic matter in the
manufacture Of soap, etc. The residue
or paste left after the oil has been ex.
tracted undergoes chemical treatment.
and the oil obtained from this is used az
lubricant.-Herald Of Trade.

Makeup Of o Boot.

II is claimed that boot is the one ar
ticle which represents most diversified
labor. Textile piece goods, thread, metal
work, as well as the varied interests Of
agriculture, tanning and shoemaking,
may all be traced to it, and sometimes,
we may suppose, the brown paper trade

Mr.. James Jones, an old citizen
died last Thursday evening after Q
long illness and was buried yesterday
from Clinton Chapel by the Brotherly
Aid Association.
All persons who have been receiv-
ing this paper since last July will be
called upon the first Of next week for
their money please be ready for us.
Mrs. Eliza Sparklin, has the
sympathy of our citizens in her
troubles. She had just sold out to
go to her husband in Alabama when
she was informed by letter of his
sudden death, which occurred last
Monday.

takes and one is that.it often gets the
names of our white physicians where
it should have DR.. Williams is per-
forming operations, 1t was DR..
Williams, the efficient colored surgeon,
who was extracting the ball from
Plummer's side when the officer
arrived for the prisoner.
Next Thursday is the fremen's day
in this city. They anticipate a grand
time. We expect to see many visitors
in the city, yet we know they will be
well cared for and it is expected that
the good reputation of the race will be
kept up. Everybody is going to be
good natured that day and no one is
going to offer an insult or injury.
A serious difficulty occurred in
Greenville last, Sunday, in which
William Plummer was shot by.
Kimmon. He received flesh
wound in the left side that is not
necessarily fatal The ball was ex-
tracted by DIR. J. 7. Williams. The
parties were all bound over to criminal
court. Foolish, ambitious boys, give
themselves and their parents much
unnecessary trouble. All differences
should be settled without resorting to
violence.
